Leo House by Edha

FengShui is an old Chinese topography, which believes that man,
building, and nature should live harmoniously in a positive synergy.

Based
by that belief, the owner of this house believe that applying FengShui
into his house will increase the living quality for the whole household,
since the applications can be seen real in daily life routines.

Beside of the FengShui, which becomes the main base for zoning the
whole area of this house, the architect also tried to presenting modern
architecture into this building, so that the house is not only worth for
its functionality, but also being aesthetic.

The whole zoning of
this house is adjusted to the calculations of the FengShui master which
been made before.

The architect only completing and translating them
into architectural norms, so that a ‘dialogue’ between FengShui and
architecture could be tied in.

Simple but hold a strong character. Both of these terms are the things that the architects wanted to pull in into his design.

The
building façades basically consist of geometric plane which emphasized
by lines, both vertically and horizontally. The massive planes combined
with glass material and softened by applying wood lattice on the top area.

For
the interior, lighting and air circulation is being optimized to the
maximum.

At the stair area, there is a skylight along the staircase to
present a “dramatic” effect to anybody who steps on it.

The same method
is also applied to the dining area which gets light from the skylight
through the glass
floor above it.

On the third floor, especially along the bedroom
corridor, architecture language is appear as shadows which caused by the
details and architectural component that designed by the architect.
